Animal Photography / Paguroidea

These crabs are popularly known as hermits or paguros. These crustaceans have in common the use of snail shells to cover their abdomen, which is softer than that of other crabs. As they grow, they change their skin until their four antennae and two tweezers come out. Then he is ready to look for a shell that protects his body and go to the beach where he will live longer.
